[ad_1] I was a sports broadcaster for 35 years, mostly covering the National Football League. I learned a lot of things in that time, but one thing stands out, and I’m going to share it with you now: Kickers are weird Go back and read it again, several times. I put it in big type for a reason. It’s true! And you have to understand it. Kickers are very, very weird people.

[ad_1] According to a poll by Golf.com, more than 70% of golfers say the slice is their number one problem. And many golf experts estimate that up to 85% of players slice or hook the ball. Needless to say, there is a lot of attention paid to – and plenty of money thrown at – curing the dreaded golf slice.
